My grandma...I think it's a generational thing also. My grandma (Clare's great grandma) was puzzled by the fact I was going back to work after she was born. <BR/><BR/>I would have been upset at the words, too.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11187997911023862479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14940117.post-1160696139514065692006-10-12T19:35:00.000-04:002006-10-12T19:35:00.000-04:00I think it is that people are still un-used to men...I think it is that people are still un-used to men being an active participant in their family. Some men still aren't, but more and more are becoming that way. Maybe she just didn't have that or she just still uses the wrong wording. I don't know you or your family except what you blog, but I think men should be involved in their families. My step-dad was, but he was considered weird and that was the 80's. My mom never had to tell him when bath time was and which kid liked their sandwiches plain. And I can guarnetee you my husband does not help me around the house, he takes care of it and our children and pup as much as I do....well mostly. ;) But it's still weird sounding to people of a certain age. It is changing though and hopefully my kids and your will never have to hear the words, oh it's so nice that he helps you. <BR/><BR/>I can see why it would have pissed you off though.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13300779669186694151noreply@blogger.com
